CyberKnife Radiosurgery for Locally Recurrent Prostate CA

NCT00851916

Description:

The purpose of this study is to scientifically evaluate the effects (good and bad) of a new type of radiation treatment in patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer after prior radiotherapy. The treatment is known as prostate radiosurgery, and is distinguished from traditional radiotherapy by the application of smaller, more precisely controlled margins around the area targeted for full dose radiation, and far fewer treatments, using a much larger dose per treatment. This research is being done to see what advantages, if any, prostate radiosurgery may have over other salvage treatment methods, including brachytherapy, cryosurgery, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), hormonal therapy and radical prostatectomy.

    Eligibility Criteria

            Inclusion Criteria:
    
              -  Histologically confirmed recurrent adenocarcinoma of the prostate, clinical stage T1 -

                 radiotherapy.
    
              -  Karnofsky performance status >80.
    
              -  Greater than 5 year life expectancy
    
              -  Greater than 2 years since the original course of radiotherapy.
    
              -  Absence of distant metastases by radiologic or pathologic assessment.
    
              -  Absence of lymph node involvement by radiologic or pathologic assessment.
    
              -  Patients must sign a study-specific informed consent form prior to study entry.
    
            Exclusion Criteria:
    
              -  Stage T4 disease (AJCC 6th Edition, see Appendix II).
    
              -  Less than 2 years since the original course of radiotherapy.
